GPT-5 mini · Answer

The poll tax required voters to pay a fee to register, which effectively disenfranchised poor Black, Mexican American, and working-class voters who couldn’t afford it. White primaries barred nonwhite people from participating in the Democratic Party’s primary elections, denying them a meaningful voice because the Democratic primary winner usually decided the outcome in one-party Texas.
